		<title>Madmundo.tv - Geraldo: Who can I trust?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the third time, our reporters are working for Geraldo. Geraldo was madmundo’s first ‘citizen-investigator’ in 1998, in Geraldo: Why Did I Lose My Job? In a second investigation, he asked: Who Benefits from Profit? Four years later Geraldo, like many Brazilians, was ecstatic when Luis Inacio Lula da Silva became the elected President of Brazil. New hope and new faith in the future was celebrated on all the Avenidas of Brazil. Imagine then the confusion, deep disappointment, and even disillusion of Geraldo when the great corruption scandal of 2005 (the Mensalão scandal) engulfed Lula’s government.

Geraldo wants to know, with equal curiosity as the first time, why does corruption in government appear so inevitable? How could it have happened to such a patently honest leader? Is Brazil the most corrupt country in the Word, or are ther worse? Has any country found effective ways to tackle it? How can ordinary citizen-voters become involved in anti-corruption campaigns and activities?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For Geraldo De Souza, 46 years old, car worker at Ford in Sao Paulo, the involvement of the Lula government in 2005 in a scandal of vote-buying of opposition MPs - known as the Mensalao - remains a terrible disappointment.
If this has not stopped Lula being re-elected in October 2006 with 60% of votes, Geraldo wants to know what can be done to fight corruption. After the first episode at the Brazilian Parliament, another in Romania (episode 2) and the United Kingdom (episode 3), the madmundo investigation comes back to Brazil where Geraldo goes to Brasilia to meet with the head of Prosecutors.

			<title>08. Transparency, a matter of perception</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Sunday, December 9, the World Day of Fight against Corruption. A World Day less known than some others because it is only a few years since the signing in 2003 under the auspices of the United Nations of a global convention to fight corruption. Now the NGO, Transparency International, has published its 2007 ranking of countries and corruption.

Madmundo continues its investigation for Geraldo de Souza, 46 years old, a car worker at Ford in Sao Paolo. In Berlin, the director of Transparency International, David Nussbaum, explains how his organization measures corruption… An index based on perceptions rather than on precise definitions...<br /><a href="http://www.madmundo.tv/en/episodes/transparency-a-matter-of-perception">Watch the video</a>]]></description>

			<title>09. Voting is a "blank cheque", according to Geraldo</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Is this the deception before the involvement of the Lula government in the corruption scandal of Mensalao? Is this the lesson to be drawn from what madmundo has discovered over the weeks in Romania, the United Kingdom, Burkina Faso, Brazil, together with Transparency International or philosophically with Robert Misrahi? The fact is that Geraldo de Souza, worker at Ford in Sao Paulo, 46 years old, is questioning the true value of democracy.

To vote or not to vote? To trust the politicians? On one of his weekly bicycle rides, Geraldo takes a break and debates with the baker… Before meeting the most honest politician in Brazil, Senator Eduardo Supplicy.<br /><a href="http://www.madmundo.tv/en/episodes/voting-is-a-blank-cheque-according-to-geraldo">Watch the video</a>]]></description>
